The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine cancels previous recommendations for citizens to refrain from traveling to Hungary
"We are lifting the recommendations for citizens to refrain from traveling to Hungary. In connection with the completion of the election campaign in Hungary yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is canceling previous recommendations for citizens to refrain from traveling to Hungary. This election campaign, which, unfortunately, was full of manipulations regarding Ukraine, is now behind us. And therefore, the increased risks of provocations, due to which these restrictions were introduced, have lost their urgency," Sybiha noted on social networks.
Sybiha stated that Ukraine is ready to work on normalizing relations with Hungary.
"We expect that in the political dimension, not only consular, the election results will lead to the normalization of relations. Ukraine is ready to work towards achieving this goal," said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
"The choice of the Hungarian people showed the desire of our neighbors to live in peace, security and prosperity - to live in a truly independent Hungary, which is part of a united and free Europe, and not a zone of influence of Moscow, a space of lawlessness and intimidation. The choice of Hungarians also marked the defeat of the policy of blackmail and anti-Ukrainian propaganda. This is symptomatic. Hungarians clearly said: enough. This will have consequences for other parties and movements in Europe that promote similar rhetoric," Sybiha said.
"I also want to set Ukrainians up for realistic expectations. Ahead is painstaking, pragmatic and calm work to find common ground, restore mutual respect and implement common pragmatic interests. Our peoples deserve for us to go this way, and we will work to restore good neighborliness in the interests of our two countries and Europe as a whole," the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized.

The statement came after Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party lost the parliamentary elections after 16 years of Orban's rule.
His defeat secured his opponent Péter Magyar a comfortable majority in Hungary's 199-seat parliament.
In Hungary, after almost all votes were counted, Tisza was expected to win 138 seats, which would be more than the two-thirds majority needed for Magyar to overturn Orban's constitutional reform and fight corruption.
